May the Han Dynasty prosper and flourish!

Cai Yong and Chen Ji also chimed in.

Both of them were literary giants of the Han Dynasty, from scholarly families. Liu Wei's name sounds quite novel!

However, upon closer inspection, it's actually quite good!

"May Your Majesty live a long and prosperous life!"

After finishing one glass, Liu Wei raised another and read aloud.

"Come on, finish this cup, there are three more to come!"

"......"

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the atmosphere became lively under the influence of alcohol.

"Your Highness, the imperial edict has been delivered. I humbly request to return to Luoyang tomorrow."

"I am grateful for Your Highness's kindness and now take my leave with Your Highness's wine."

Cai Yong was the first to ask for instructions.

"Haha, Cai Yilang, since you've come all this way, why don't you stay a little longer in this fertile Hetao Plain with its boundless scenery?"

Liu Wei said with a smile.

Cai Yong said, "To be honest, it has been almost a month since I left Luoyang and arrived here. I'm afraid my family in Luoyang is worried about me!"

"Oh! I have long heard that Lord Cai has a daughter who is both beautiful and talented, knowledgeable, and skilled in music, and is renowned far and wide."

Liu Wei seemed to know everything about the Cai family's daughter, saying, "It's just a pity that her husband was frail and sickly, and died young!"

"Does Your Highness also know about my daughter's matter?" Cai Yong was surprised.

"The name of this talented woman is renowned far and wide. With such talent and learning, she should be able to achieve great things."

"At such a young age, she still has no children. It's truly regrettable and shows how unfortunate her fate has been!"

Liu Wei's heartfelt words deeply moved Cai Yong:

"I never expected Your Highness to speak of my daughter in such a way; it's truly extraordinary!"

"What's the use of a woman reading so many books if her job is simply to be a good wife and mother?"

"No!"

Liu Wei shook his head, "Cai Cai just hasn't met her mentor yet!"
